Hopper Piglet Creep Feeder

• Durable HDPE Construction: Non-corrosive, lightweight and resistant to routine livestock-house washing.
• Adjustable Feed Flow: Metering plate regulates the quantity of feed entering the lower trough.
• Feed-Saving Lip: Rolled front edge helps retain expensive creep and starter feed.
• Integrated Hopper: Maintains a reserve of feed while reducing the need for frequent manual refilling.
• Easy-Clean Geometry: Rounded internal surfaces reduce corners where stale feed can accumulate.
• Removable Mounting: Feeder can be detached quickly for filling, washing and sanitation.
• Secure Bracket System: Locking features help prevent piglets from dislodging the feeder.
• Compact Farrowing-Pen Design: Mounts on compatible end or divider panels without occupying excessive floor space.

• Feed Hopper: Stores dry creep or starter feed above the trough.
• Adjustable Meter Plate: Controls feed movement from the hopper into the feeding area.
• Dual Feeding Openings: Provide convenient access for multiple piglets.
• Feed-Saver Lip: Helps limit feed being pushed out during eating.
• HDPE Feeder Body: One-piece corrosion-resistant construction for easy sanitation.
• Mounting Bracket: Connects the feeder to compatible farrowing-crate panels.
• Locking Pins: Help secure the feeder to the mounting bracket during use.

• Select an end or divider panel that is easily accessible to piglets but protected from direct sow interference.
• Secure the mounting bracket firmly to the compatible farrowing-crate panel.
• Fit the feeder onto the bracket and engage the locking points.
• Check that the trough is positioned at a practical height for the target piglet age.
• Set the metering plate to a small initial opening when introducing creep feed.
• Confirm that the feeder cannot be dislodged during normal animal contact.

• Add small quantities of fresh feed regularly during the early creep-feeding period.
• Remove stale or contaminated feed before refilling.
• Detach the feeder from the bracket for thorough washing and disinfection.
• Clean the hopper, metering plate and trough openings to prevent feed buildup.
• Inspect mounting brackets and locking pins for wear or damage.
• Adjust feed flow as piglet consumption increases.

Q: What is a hopper piglet creep feeder used for?
A: It introduces nursing piglets to dry starter feed before weaning while providing a small reserve of feed above the trough.

Q: What material is the feeder made from?
A: The referenced feeder uses durable high-density polyethylene that is non-corrosive and rust-free.

Q: Can feed flow be adjusted?
A: Yes. An adjustable metering plate regulates how much feed moves from the hopper into the trough.

Q: What feed types can be used?
A: The reference design is suitable for ground dry feed, pellets and compatible powdered feed additives.

Q: How does the feeder reduce waste?
A: A rolled feed-saving lip helps prevent piglets from pushing expensive starter feed out of the trough.

Q: How much feed does the reference model hold?
A: The documented reference capacity is approximately 5 lb, or about 2.3 kg, depending on feed density.

Q: Is the feeder easy to remove for cleaning?
A: Yes. The removable bracket arrangement allows the feeder to be detached for filling, washing and sanitation.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes piglet age, number of farrowing pens, feed type, required quantity, panel dimensions, mounting method and preferred feeder capacity.
